I'm pondering purchasing a new laptop... my old Vaio is absolutely
ancient, heavy, and slow (800MHz).

Specifically I'm looking at the ThinkPad X61s notebook.

Anyone experienced with this product?

Alternates?

I bought a System76 Gazelle as part of my Big Linux Experiment. I'm
loving it so far (but then, I haven't tried running any Windows apps yet).

Oh, you probably didn't mean _that_ alternate, did you?

I've ordered a ThinkPad X61s.

What operating system? I wanna see how Vista does on simulations.

Charlie Edmondson was unsure about PSpice and Vista, so I ordered it

Smart move, IMHO.

Nice and portable. I'll be interested to see how you do with the 12"

When it's home on the KVM that won't be a problem. Traveling I tend
to use the client's conference room projector to demonstrate things.

With today's airline seat spacing I can't even open my Vaio anymore
:-(

So we'll see how I can do with a 12" screen.
